State of Things
01:19
|

|
I thought it was time to write
An old fashioned song about my feelings
I've been thinking of ways to get me out of the cycles
And the state of things
I’ve got faucets that only run cold
Cars that are leaking rain and oil
But give me permanence give me grace
To change with the waxing of the season

Love Trio
01:34
|
|||
|
Whisper down my throat to you
Want you in my head
Want you ever closer
Want you free at last
Days like these are breathless hanging trees
I could live like this forever
On a note, on a night, on a kiss before a flight
Some things should just stick around

Drought Trio
01:21
|
|||
|
Drought rips the country apart
Til its threadbare clothes
Lose sight of what their purpose was
But gardens still swarm full of bees
Dip into flowers and the birds
Find water at the fountain by the wall
It’s not our call
To destroy what’s not ours
Learn to live with less, with less, with less

Where Have You Gone

Where have you gone
Sister of mine?
Should I look in the rain
Or when the weather is fine?
I’ve gone to soon
To the trees and the vines
I’ve gone to the moths
And the butterflies
Where have you gone
Father of mine?
Should I go out looking?
Which hills should I climb?
I’ve gone away
To old friends who are fine
I’ve gone to their stories
Of good old times
Where have you gone
Mother of mine?
Oh sister and I
We’ll wait for a sign
I’ve gone for now
To stars as they shine
I’ve gone to my grave
Where the sun won’t shine

To The Sea

Tom, you were gone too soon, but you know you best
I wish you calm and I wish you rest
I heard you headed for the sea
But not before you rescued me
Outside your door I slid to the floor
I was thirteen I was scared of leaving
You sat with me and you told me
Change leads to growing, and it was ok to feel my feelings
It was safe to tell you all my stupid dreams
And the last time I saw you, you said you were proud of me
I watched you hold up all my dearest friends
And I wish we could’ve come to help you in the end
You were a pirate, an actor, a father, a friend
You were a teacher to me until the end
I heard you headed for the coast
I hope the tall ships took your ghost
They finally found your body
But you don’t only live in your body
You’re echoed in the words that we memorized on stage
You’re carried in our lives in the differences you made
You’re rooted in the heart of your family, your wife
You’ll spend your death as beloved as you were in life
I heard you headed for the sea
But not before you rescued me

Crow Trio

Crows in the city they fly
Over the rooftops each morning
Back to downtown every evening
Roosting in treetops all over

With the Flowers
02:44

Will you find me in the garden where I go to plant the seeds
For the summer is a’comin’ and I’ve family four to feed
Can you hear the wind a’whistlin' through the golden willow trees
If you wander to the garden with the flowers you’ll find me
Well the summer breeze is blowin’ through the aster and pine
And the roses started bloomin’ near the home that I call mine
Can you hear the river flowing down along the mountainside
If you wander to the garden with the flowers I’ll reside
Well the winter chill is blowing in, the snow is on the wind
Summer went and autumn hurried in, with harvest, feasts, and friends
Can you hear the moon a’risin’ o’er the fields and foggy glens
For to wander in the garden I shall for winter’s end
Will you find me in the garden as the frost begins to melt
For the days are growing longer and the earth is softer yet
Can you hear the flowers calling after raindrops softly fell
If you wander to the garden with the flowers I’ll be well
If you wander to the garden with the flowers I’ll be well

Time on My Side
03:03
|

|
I was driving down the highway
In my old Chevrolet
I had time on my mind
Thinking ‘bout those good ol’ days
Well I drove right into Staton
So I could buy some cigarettes
And I laughed at my reflection
‘Cuz I didn’t know her face
I am not the gal I was
Five years ago
She ain’t coming back, no
She left in Ohio
I’ve got troubles, I’ve got stories, I’ve got places left to go
I’ve got time on my side, don’t ya know
Well time can do us favors
And time can make us sad
But it’s all in how you use it
When there’s living to be had
So let’s head down to Nashville
And party like we’re young
There’s no time to be wasting
When it’s all said and done
I am not the gal I was
Five years ago
She ain’t coming back, no
She left in Ohio
I’ve got troubles, I’ve got stories, I’ve got places left to go
I’ve got time on my side, don’t ya know
I’ve got troubles, I’ve got stories, I’ve got places left to go
I’ve got time on my side, don’t ya know
I’ve got time on my side, don’t ya know
